INTRODUCTION 

The  Treatment  for  about  every  kind  of  lameness  is 
described  in  this  book,  and  it  is  a  very  simple 
matter  to  treat  any  unsoundness. 

When  there  are  no  definite  symptoms  to  go  by,  or  one 
is  not  acquainted  with  the  horse  and  his  diseases, 
send  for  *'Save-The-Horse  Book."  It  describes 
the  symptoms  and  pecularities  of  every  form  of 
'  lameness.  Should  you  wish  this  book  or  desire 
advice,  write  us. 

The  More  Pains  You  Take  to  write  is  a  lull 
and  accurate  statement  about  your  horse  as  to  age, 
weight,  temperament  (spirited  or  lazy)  kind  of 
work,  when,  why  and  how  it  is  lame — ^in  what  way 
the  horse  tries  to  favor  itself  to  get  ease  from  pain 
in  the  stable  and  travelling — whether  it  eats  well  and 
loses  or  gains  flesh — where  swellings,  stiffness,  con- 
tractions, shrinkage  and  sores  are  located — what  his 
action  is  and  how  it  affects  his  lameness,  making  it 
better  or  worse — ^what  treatment  and  remedies  you 
have  used,  how  long  you  have  used  them— and 
what  effect  they  had — everything  you  can 
think  of  will  enable  us  to  form  a  more  accurate 
conclusion  and  help  you  and  your  horse  out  of  your 
troubles  very  much  sooner. 

It  Would  Be  An  Unheard  oi  Case  That  We  Could 
Not  Duplicate  on  our  file  record  of  twcntv-odd  years. 
That's  why  we  are  so  particular  and  insistent  that 
you  tell  us  every  little  detail  about  your  lame 
horse, — and,  we  prefer  that  you  tell  it  just  as  you 
would  talk  face  to  face — never  minding  grammar, 
spelling,  style,  or  frills  of  any  kind.

FALSE  ECONOMY 


Human  nature  is  much  the  same  the  world  over.  When 
a  horse  goes  lame  what  happens?  The  owner  starts  in  with 
treatments  known  to  himself. 

Days  and  weeks  go  by ;  the  horse  is  "  eating  his  head  off  '* 
and  is  still  lame.  The  owner  begins  to  realize  that  he  has 
got  a  "  time-and-money-sinker  "  on  his  hands. 

And  $5.50  looks  as  BIG  as  a  barn  door! 
It  is  a  auESTiON  of — ^Peofit? — ^Loss? — ^Economy? 
The  hoese  cannot  cure  itself  ! 
Time  and  money  must  be  spent! 
The  problem  is,  to-— Spend  Wisely. 
It  often  leaks  out  that  a  man  has  tried  several  lower- 
priced  remedies  that  failed  before  he  came  to  us. 

And  we  are  not  sorry ! 

We  are  not  sorry  because  in  the  end  that  man  better 
realizes  that  once  in  a  (long)  while,— a  thing  is  really  what  it 
is  cracked  up  to  be* 

What  you  get  for  65.50. 

First, — you  get  a  powerful  remedy  that  is  all  business 
from  the  word  GO !  If  you  manufactured  the  ingredients  and 
compounded  it  yourself,  as  we  do,  it  would  cost  you  at  least 
three  times  $5.50. 

Second, — Every  customer  that  spends  $5.50  for  it  shares 
equally  with  us  the  benefit  of  the  advertising  that  brings  na 
together. 

Third, — when  the  case  reqiires  it,  we  give  free  of  charge 
special  attention  and  advice,  for  which  a  veterinarian  would 
charge  from  $1.00  to  $10.00. 

Some  may  not  believe  it,  nevertheless  it  is  a  fact  that  the 


^0.50  orders  we  get  direct  from  advertising  would  not  yield 
any  margin  of  profit  over  cost  and  expenses — If — our  cus- 
tomers never  told  what  our  remedy  did  for  their  horse  and 
was  never  heard  from  agairi. 

Let  us  make  this  a  little  plainer.  Save-The-Horse  rem- 
edy has  been  sold  on  its  merits  under  a  guarantee  for  more 
than  twenty  years  and  if  it  had  been  a  fake  and  had  not — 
"  made  good  '* — ^we  would  have  been  driven  out  of  business 
from  lack  of  friends  and  patronage  long  ago  I  * 

Now  as  to  the  "  economy  '*  of  paying  $5.60  for  this  old 
tried-out  remedy.  Don't  you  think  it  would  be  a  "  poor 
skate  "  of  a  horse  whose  keep  and  idleness  combined  did  not 
amount  to  a  loss  of  at  least  $5.50  each  and  every  week  while 
he  is  laid  up? 

If  you  decide  to  try — Save-The-Horse — under  our  guar- 
antee, please  be  careful  and  diligent  to  follow  the  directions 
then,  after  a  few  applications  of  it,  put  the  horse  at  work  and 
have  him  earning  the  cost  of  his  treatment. 

It  will  not  injure  him  any  to  make  him  earn  it,  but — it 
will  stop  the  leak  he  is  making  in  your  business  and  in  your 
pocket. 

MOEEOVEE,  THAT  WOULD  BE  TeUE  EcONOMY  !

P.  S. — Do  not  hesitate  to  write  us  for  fuller  details  and  ad- 
vice about  anything  pertaining  to  the  lameness  of 
horses  which  may  have  been  overlooked,  omitted;^  or 
is  not  made  clear  in  this  book. 

There  are  things  in  the  world  that  are  as  fully 
"  worth  while  "  as  the  mighty  dollar.  We  try  to  be 
a  friend  to  the  horse.  A  host  of  their  owners  and 
trainers  are  our  friends ;  and,  if  you  will  let  us,  we 
will  do  our  utmost  to  treat  you  so  well,  in  good  timt, 
^e  bope  to  include  you  among  their  number,

Tke  Man  Who  Doctors  the  Horse 


WE  receive  many  interesting  letters  from 
horse  owners ;  the  most  of  them  are  from 
men  who  have  handled  horses  all  their  life-time, 
and  yet,  are  never  heard  of  as  "  Veterinaries," 
"  Horsemen  "  or  "  Trainers." 

Nevertheless,  it  is  a  fact  proven  many  times 
over  in  our  long  experience  in  the  treatment  of 
horses,  that  breeders,  farmers,  lumbermen  and 
others  who  are  located  where  professional  advice 
and  treatment  are  not  obtainable,  on  the  average, 
are  well-informed  concerning  the  anatomy  of 
the  horse  and  the  treatment  of  his  ordinary 
"lay-ups." 

But  when  it  comes  to  the  treatment  of  ob- 
stinate leg  ailments  that  cause  lameness,  we  are 
confident  that  the  up-to-date  Veterinarian  is  in 
the  lead,  because  as  a  rule  he  discards  the  old- 
time  cruel  blistering  and  "firing"  which  often 
does  more  harm  than  good,  and  substitutes  rem- 
edies that  are  more  modern,  humane  and  efficient. 
He  does  this  for  the  same  reason  physicians  long 
ago  abandoned  the  old-time  "  bleeding,"  purging 
and  vomiting  human  beings  until  they  were 
nearly  or  quite,  dead. 

We  sell  large  quantities  of  Save-The-Horse 
to  Veterinarians  and  horsemen, — what  becomes  of 
it?  Is  it  not  reasonable  to  assume  that  they  use 
it  largely  because  they  know  its  real  value? 

We  also  know,  because  we  deal  with  them  di- 
rect and  hear  all  about  the  case,  that  farmers 
and  others  get  as  good  results  from  Save-The- 
Horse  as  professionals.  Anyone  can  who  is 
careful  to  follow  the  plain  directions — closely 
and  exactly. 


CAUTION 

Do  not  foi*  any  consideration  use  any  other  remedy  or 
treatment  while  using  Save-the-Horse,  or  following  its 
use  under  any  claim  whatsoever  that  it  has  the  same 
effect.  No  inducement  should  influence  you  to  risk  coun- 
teracting the  action  of  this  preparation. 


WORKING   THE   HORSE 

8ave-the- Horse  can  be  applied  at  any  time,  in  all  extremes  of  season- 
winter  or  summer — and  under  all  conditions. 

The  horse  in  the  wild  or  free  state,  ranges  great  distances,  and  is  one 
of  the  most  active  animals  known  to  man. 

With  Save-the-Horse  you  can  begin  and  continue  consistent  daily  work 
and  exercise. — 

'Herein  lies  the  great  economy  of  using  Save-the-Horse. 

Regular  and  consistent  work  is  far  more  beneficial  than  work 
or  exercise  at  irregular  intervals. 

If  the  horse  Jias  been  layed  up  or  resting  for  a  long  period 
previous  to  this  treatment  do  not  begin  by  giving  a  long  drive 
or  hard  work  just  to  test  out  the  effect  of  the  treatment ;  the  parts 
are  not  in  condition  to  endure  so  severe  a  test  at  the  start.  Com- 
mence slow  and  easy,  gradually  increasing  the  work  each  day  as 
improvement  warrants  until  the  horse  is  being  worked  as  usual. 


TREATMENT  FOR  BONE  SPAVIN 

Ciit  the  hair  over  all  the  affected  part.  - 

Before  making  the  first  two  or  three  treatments  with  Save- 
The-Horse,  rub  the  parts  briskly  up  and  down  with  a  good  stiff 
bnish,  or  with  the  hand  for  five  or  ten  minutes.  This  is  not  ab- 
solutely necessary  but  the  friction  will  open  up  the  pores  so  that 
Save-The-Horse  will  work  in  more  quickly. 

Apply  Save-the-Horse  thoroughly  once  each  day  for  five  days, 
using  the  brush  which  accompanies  the  bottle.  Then  apply  Save- 
the-Horse  Ointment  once  each  day  for  four  days.  Repeat  this 
alternate  treatment — first,  five  days  with  Save-the-Horse,  then 
four  days  with  the  ointment —  until  all  lameness  disappears. 

Special  Suggestions 

Usually  on  bringing  the  horse  in  from  work  or  exercise,  at 
the  end  of  the  day  is  the  most  practicable  time  to  make  the  treat- 
ment ;  but  any  time  of  day  most  convenient  to  the  user  will  do  so 
long  as  it  is  done  regularly. 

From  seven  to  ten  brushfuls  of  Save-the-Horse  usually  cover 
the  affected  area  in  one  treatment,  but  should  it  require  more 
apply  it ;  put  on  all  the  parts  will  absorb,  but  no  more — do  not 
let  the  remedy  run  down  and  waste. 

Thoroughly  work  in  the  remedy  by  manipulating  the  brush 
over  and  around  the  enlargement. 

^  Each  day  before  applying  the  ointment,  and  the  first  day 
(only)  before  applying  Save-the-Horse,  cleanse  off  the  scurf  and 
grease  with  hot  water  and  soap,  otherwise  the  grease  will  cake 
over  so  that  Save-the-Horse  will  run  off  and  not  take  hold. 
After  washing  let  the  parts  dry  before  applying  Save-the-Horse. 

Unless  there  is  dirt  in  the  parts  do  not  wash  while  applying 
Save-the-Horse. 

Lard  may  be  substituted  for  Save-the-Horse  Ointment,  hut 
this  ointment  is  especially  desirable  as  it  assists  in  hastening  ab- 
sorption and  to  lessen  the  skin  irritation. 

Rub  on  a  little  ointment  or  lard  below  where  application  of 
Save-the-Horse  is  made  so  as  to  confine  Save-the-Horse  to  the 
affected  parts. 

SHOEING  :  The  foot  should  be  pared  level  and  the  toe  lowered  from 
the  bottom  all  that  ia  possible  without  cutting  through  tlie  sole  at  this 
point.  If  a  toe  calk  is  used  it  should  be  long  and  very  low,  the  heel 
calks  should  be  %  to  1  inch  higlier  than  the  toe.  ' 

Tlie  shoe  ought  to  be  nnet  every  three  weeks  if  possible  to  keep  the  foot 
in  tlie  above  described  shape. 

While  shoeing  affords  an  important  advantage  that  should  not  be  neg- 
lected, the  most  essential  thing  is  a  well  directed  and  persistent  effort  to 
eliminate  the  aggravating  causes  of  the  inflammatory  conditjon.  Save-the* 
Hofl««  should  b^  veguiauy  aiui  faithfully  applied. 

S 


TREATMENT    FOR    BLIND    SPAVIN 

Treat  and  shoe  the  same  as  for  a  bone  spavin, — only  extend 
the  application  well  down  over  the  front  and  to  both  sides  of  the 
lower  joint  of  the  hock. 

TREATMENT  FOR  BLOOD  SPAVIN 
^  Follow  the  treatment  and  shoeing  as  given  for  bone  spavin. 
TREATMENT   FOR   BOG    SPAVIN 

Same  treatment  and  shoeing  as  for  bone  spavin. 

If  the  bog  spavin  can  be  pushed  through  to  the  outside  by 
manipulation  and  pressui*e,  or  if  there  are  enlargements,  in  the 
hollows  at  the  back  of  joint  treat  as  for  thoroughpin. 
TREATMENT  FOR  THOROUGHPIN 

Apply  Save-the-Horse  as  directed  on  the  bottle  over  and 
around  the  enlargement  in  the  hollow,  and  to  the  opposite  side 
even  though  the  enlargement  shows  on  one  side  only ;  also  treat 
any  swelling  on  the  front  of  hock. 

In  the  treatment  of  thoroughpin  the  angle  of  the  foot  and  hock 
should  not  be  lost  sight  of  as  these  are  very  important  in  re- 
lieving pressure  from  an  inflamed  and  weakened  joint.  This 
may  be  accomplished  in  the  following  manner :  The  foot  should 
be  made  level,  the  toe  calk  low  and  long  with  heel  calks  raised 
so  that  they  are  at  least  %  inch  hig^her  than  the  toe. 

If  the  foot  is  shod  in  this  way  and  shoe  reset  frequently,  every 
three  weeks  if  possible,  it  will  favorably  supplement  and  greatly 
increase  the  action  of  the  remedy. 
TREATMENT   FOR   WIND    GALLS   OR   WIND   PUFFS 

The  foot  should  be  kept  level  and  calks  low. 

Apply  Save-the-Horse  as  directed  on  the  bottle. 

Should  there  be  inflammation  and  fever  or  the  horse  go  lame 
and  sore  the  treatment  should  be  made  as  directed  for  Filled 
Tendons ;  this  method  will  hasten  results  and  be  a  saving  of  the 
preparation. 

Frequently  the  cause  of  lameness  is  below  and  in  the  sesamoid 
bones.  With  the  hand  closely  feel  along  down  the  sides  at  the 
back  of  the  ankle,  manipulating  and  pressing,  especially  on  the 
under  parts  at  the  back  of  the  ankle,  for  any  thickening  or  filling. 
If  any  exists  or  the  pressure  evinces  pain,  treatment  should  be 
extended  accordingly  and  the  method  as  directed  for  Filled 
Tendons  followed. 


WHEN  TREATING  STALLIONS 

Always  bandage  an  injured,  weak  or  swollen  hock,  ankle  oi 
tendon  of  hind  leg  when  siallion  is  serving,  to  aid  in  support- 
ing and  to  prevent  etrainiug^of  affected  part,  (Se«  page  26 
for  method  of  bandaging.)  ^. 


TEEATMENT   FOE   RINGBONE   OB   CLING-FAST 

Apply  Save-the-Horse  as  directed  on  the  bottle. 

When  from  previous  treatments  with  blisters  and  firing  or 
from  any  cause  the  growth  has  become  tough  and  hard,  apply 
Save-the-Horse  once  or  twice  each  day  from  six  to  eight  days 
before  alternating  with  ointment. 

When  Save-the-Horse  begins  to  take  hold,  gradually  lessen 
the  number  of  applications  until  treatment  is  made  in  accord- 
ance with  the  directions  on  the  bottle. 

In  addition  to  applying  Save-the-Horse  thoroughly  over  and 
around  the  enlargement,  also  make  a  few  alternate  treatments 
entirely  around  the  coronary  band  at  top  of  hoof ;  this  will  assist 
in  stimulating  circulation,  to  expand  and  produce  a  healthy  con- 
dition of  the  foot  and  also  prove  helpful  on  the  parts  above. 

In  conjunction  with  Save-the-Horse  in  treating  Ring-bones, 
much  can  be  accomplished  by  proper  fitting  and  shoeing  of  the 
affected  foot.  The  foot  should  be  pared  level  and  at  such  an 
angle  that  the  fine  lines  seen  en  the  foot  running  from  the  coro- 
net to  the  ground  are  parallel  with  the  long  axis  of  the  pastern 
bone,  that  is  if  a  straight  edge  be  laid  along  one  of  these  lines 
of  the  foot  and  allowed  to  extend  above  the  foot  it  would  have 
exactly  the  same  slant  as  the  pastern  bone. 

It  will  usually  be  possible  to  get  this  angle  and  still  use  a  flat 
shoe  thin  at  the  heel.  But  if  the  heel  of  the  foot  is  so  low  that 
the  proper  angle  cannot  be  made  without  it,  then  the  shoe  heel 
must  be  thickened. 

If  conditions  necessitate  calks  let  them  be  low  and  conform 
to  the  above  described  angle. 

Although  the  shoeing  is  of  importance  and  will  aid  materially, 
it  is  secondary  to  Save-the-Horse  and  therefore  a  close  adherence 
to  directions  for  applying  Save-the-Horse  is  of  first  importance. 

TREATMENT    FOR    SIDE-BONE 

Save-the-Horse,  applied  as  directed  on  bottle  over  and  around 
the  Side-bone,  acts  to  relieve  soreness  and  inflammation,  t«  pro- 
mote new  growth  of  tissues  and  to  absorb  the  calcarious  deposit. 
It  should  also  be  applied  completely  around  the  top  of  the  foot 
at  coronet,  i.  e.,  one-half  inch  above  to  one-half  inch  below  at 
the  junction  of  hair  and  hoof. 

For  Save-the-Horse  to  get  in  its  quickest  work  the  foot  should 
be  kept  soft  and  moist.  This  can  be  accomplished  in  no  way 
better  than  with  a  sack  (burlap  is  good)  wrapped  about  the  foot 
and  pastern  and  soaked  with  cold  water  and  left  over  night ;  or  a 
felt  soaking  boot  may  be  ustd. 

Sometimes  but  one  side  of  the  foot  is  affected  and  thia  most 

10 


often  is  the  outside.  In  pi*eparing  the  foot  for  the  shoe  the  side 
affected  should  be  pared  most  so  that  it  will  be  the  lowest.  The 
shoe  on  the  affected  side  should  extend  beyond  the  wall  14  inch 
to  1/2  "ich  so  as  to  give  greater  ground  surface  in  this  direction ; 
shoe  the  opposite  side  close  to  the  wall.  Should  there  be  a  side 
bone  on  both  sides  of  the  hoof  shoe  as  directed  for  Ringbone. 

TREATMENT   FOR    SPLINT 

Apply  Save-the-Horse  as  directed  on  bottle;  make  treatment 
over  and  around  growth  ;if  one  shows  on  both  sides  of  leg  make 
application  over  both.  ^ 

For  the  first  three  6r  four  days  immediately  before  applying 
Save-the-Horse  rub  the  affected  area  briskly  with  the  hand  or 
stiff  brush  for  three'  minutes. 

The  foot  should  be  pared  according  to  directions  given  under 
treatment  for  Ringbone,  only  be  sure  to  shoe  the  foot  flat  and 
light  enough  so  that  striking  or  brushing  will  not  occur. 

TREATMENT  FOR  BUCK  OR  SORE  SHIN 

Apply  Save-the-Horse  treatment  as  directed  for  Filled  Ten- 
dons. 

TREATMENT  FOR  CAPPED  HOOK 

Apply  Save-the-Horse  over  the  affected  area  according  to  di- 
rections on  bottle.  Immediately  before  making  treatment  with 
Save-the-Horse  for  the  first  two  or  three  days,  briskly  rub  the 
parts  with  a  good  stuff  brush,  or  by  thoroughly  massaging  up 
and  down  with  the  hand,  for  ten  or  fifteen  minutes. 

Remove  the  cause,  which  is  usually  accomplished  by  changing 
the  horse  to  another  stall  or  by  padding  that  portion  of  the  stall 
that  is  causing  the  irritation. 

TREATMENT    FOR    CURB 

Treatment  of  curb  consists  of  application  of  Save-the-Horse  as 
directed  on  bottle.  Immediately  before  making  treatment  with 
Save-the-Horse  for  the  first  2  or  3  days,  briskly  rub  parts  with  a 
stiff  brush,  or  by  thoroughly  massaging  up  and  down  with  the 
hand,  for  ten  or  fifteen  minutes.  Follow  the  shoeing  instruc- 
tions given  under  treatment  for  bone  spavin.    This  is  important. 

TREATMENT    FOR    ENLARGED,    INJURED    OR 
CAPPED    KNEE 

In  treatment  of  the  acute  stage  of  capped  knee,  i.  e.,  while  heat, 
soreness  and  inflammation  are  at  their  height,  cold  packs  or  cold 
water  applied  with  a  sponge  or  hose  are  valuable  adjuncts  to 


Save-the-Hor»e.  Two  or  three  days  ofter  the  injury,  change  to 
hot  water  and  itiassage  ,followed  by  Save-the-Horse  as  directed 
on  bottle. 

Kest  while  the  disease  is  in  the  acute  stage  is  necessary,  but 
as  the  inflammation  subsides  moderately  exercise  to  the  halter, 
which  may  be  consistently  increased  and  in  a  short  time  the  horse 
may  be  put  to  regular  work.  While  the  applications  of  cold  or 
hot  water  are  not  necessary,  they  often  aid  in  the  hastening  of 
results. 

TREATMENT  FOR  SPRUNG  KNEE 

Apply  Save-the-Horse  at  the  back  and  sides  of  the  knee  and 
over  tl^  tendons  at  back  of  leg  from  the  knee  downward  to  and 
including  the  ankle,  as  directed  on  the  bottle. 

In  dressing  the  foot  care  must  be  exercised  to  keep  the  heehi 
high,  while  the  toe  should  be  lowered  all  that  is  possible  from  the 
bottom  of  the  foot.  Shoe  the  foot  flat  with  the  heels  thickened  to 
relieve  the  strain  of  the  flexor  tendons. 

Feed  from  the  floor,  instead  of  manger  ;  this  is  important 
in  all  cases  of  sprung  knee. 

The  floor  of  the  stall  should  be  level ;  a  common  cause  of  sprung 
knee  is  standing  on  an  inclining  floor  in  the  stall.  ^ 

TREATMENT  FOR  BROKEN  KNEE 

Same  as  treatment  for  Open  Joint. 

ENLARGEMENTS  AND  SPRAINS  OF  THE  FETLOCK 

OR  ANKLE 

Apply  Save-the-Horse  over  and  around  the  enlargements  as 
directed  on  bottle.  Relieve  the  tension  on  the  ligaments  and  ten- 
dons by  increasing  the  height  of  the  heel  calks.  The  bandage 
treatment  as  given  for  filled  tendons  will  assist  in  hastening  re- 
sults and  save  on  the  preparation,  though  not  strictly  necessary. 

TREATMENT   FOR   COCKED   ANKLE   OR   KNUCKLING 

The  foot  should  be  pared  level  and  the  shoe  fitted  with  long 
and  very  low  toe  calk.  The  heel  calks  should  be  at  least  %  inch 
higher  than  the  toe  calk  so  as  to  relieve  the  tension  on  the  tendon. 

Apply  Save-the-Horse  as  directed  on  bottle,  following  the  ten- 
dons from  the  knee  to  and  including  the  ankle  and  pastern,  both 
back  and  sides. 

TREATMENT    FOR    SHOULDER    LAMENESS 

Clip  the  hair  from  the  affected  parts  and  apply  Save-the-Horse 
twice  daily  over  and  around  the  affected  area  for  a  week  or  toi; 
days,  or  until  considerable  roughness  of  the  skin  can  b«  ieiU 

12  


Then  apply  Save-the-Horse  Ointment  for  two  or  three  days,  rub- 
bing it  in  thoroughly,  and  repeat  the  treatment  as  before. 

Should  the  parts  become  too  much  scurfed,  apply  Saye-the- 
Horse  once  a  day  only,  for  six  to  eight  days,  then  stop  it  and 
use  the  ointment  for  four  days,  and  repeat. 

For  this  disease  Save-the-Horse  must  be  applied  until  it  takes 
a  good,  strong  hold ;  put  on  at  one  treatment  only  what  the  parts 
will  absorb.  It  is  better  to  apply  it  twice  each  day  than  to  put 
on  too  much  at  one  time.    Do  not  let  it  run  down  and  waste. 

Thoroughly  cleanse  off  the  ointment  with  hot  water  and  soap 
the  first  day  only  when  beginning  each  course  of  treatment  wath 
Save-the-Horse.  If  the  ointment  is  not  washed  off  it  will  cake 
or  grease  over  the  parts  so  that  the  Save-the-Horse  will  run  off. 

TREATMENT  FOR'  SWEENEY 

Clip  the  hair  closely  and  apply  Save-the-Horse  over  the  area 
of  the  shrunken  muscles  as  directed  on  bottle. 

If  the  horse  has  been  rested,  begin  as  soon  as  desired  with  easy 
work  and  gradually  increase  it  as  improvement  warrants.  Con- 
sistent daily  work  or  exercise  is  beneficial,  but  overwork  and 
fatigue  at  the  start  are  detrimental  in  this  disease. 

TREATMENT  FOR  SHOULDER  BRUISES 

In  the  treatment  of  shoulder  bruises  it  is  first  of  all  necessary 
so  far  as  possible  to  remove  the  cause ;  this  may  be  accomplished 
by  using  a  sweat  pad  and  cutting  a  round  hole  in  it  directly  over 
the  tumor ;  or  it  can  be  done  by  removing  the  padding  in  the  col- 
lar>  which  comes  over  the  affected  part  and  with  a  stout  thread 
indent  the  area  so  as  to  leave  a  deep  cavity  in  the  collar  and 
thereby  remove  contact  and  pressure  on  the  tumor. 

A  hard  tumor  or  growth  beneath  the  skin  occurring  anywhere 
upon  the  shoulder,  caused  by  an  unequal  pressure  of  the  collar, 
treat  according  to  directions  on  bottle. 

If  there  are  raw  surfaces  apply  Save-the-Horse  Ointment  at 
night  and  again  in  the  morning  before  putting  on  collar.  This 
ointment  is  an  aid  for  treating  serious  sores  of  every  kind. 
Shoulders  should  be  kept  clean  and  free  from  dandruff  and  sweat 
secretions. 

TREATMENT  FOR  SHOE  BOIL  OR  CAPPED  ELBOW 

We  mention  a'few  of  the  ca^jses  which  produce  this  affection 
and  methods  to  remove  them. 

An  improvised  method  to  keeD  the  shoe  from  irritatinc:  the 
elbow  while  the  horse  is  at  rest:  take  a  strap  about  two  feet  long, 

13 


wind  it  with  a  burlap  sack,  tie  or  sew  this  to  the  strap :  buckle 
this  about  the  lee:  below  the  fetlock.  This  makes  a  roll  largo i 
than  the  foot  and  keps  the  heel  calks  from  the  elbow. 

Take  the  precaution  to  see  that  the  belly  band  of  the  harness 
is  not  rubbing  the  elbow  as  it  sometimes  does  in  going  down 
hill,  and  frequently  causes  the  disease. 

Probably  the  most  common  of  all  causes  is  from  the  point  of 
the  elbow  coming  in  contact  with  the  floor  when  the  horse  rises. 
During  this  act  the  fore  feet  are  stretched  forward ;  the  weight 
of  the  body  is  thrown  on  the  heels  of  the  fore  feet,  and  with  some 
horses  the  point  of  the  elbow  strikes  the  floor  when  in  the  act  of 
giving  a  spring  to  gain  the  feet.  The  synovial  bursa  is  ruptured 
in  that  way  and  a  shoe  boil  or  capped  elbow  is  the  result. 

If  the  latter  is  the  cause  a  good  thick  bedding  of  straw  or  other 
material  must  be  provided. 

Then  apply  Save-the-Horse  as  directed  on  bottle. 

TREATMENT    FOR    HIP    JOINT    LAMENESS 

No  bathing,  blistering  or  rest  is  required.  Save-the-Horse  acts 
to  draw  out  the  deep  seated  inflammation  and  as  an  alterative ;  it 
assists  to  stimulate  circulation  and  to  produce  a  healthy  action 
to  the  muscles  and  tendons.  No  blister  is  required.  The  horse 
can  be  put  to  work  without  losing  a  day. 

The  same  factors  exist  in  diseases  of  the  hip  as  are  found  in 
shoulder  lameness. 

Treatment  is  the  same  as  for  shoulder  Lameness.  Cover  the 
entire  affected  area  or  surface  of  about  six  inches.  * 

TREATMENT    FOR    STIFLE    LAMENESS 

Acute  still*  lameness  rapidly  becomes  chronic  and  very  resist- 
ant to  rdinary  treatment.  All  injuries  to  the  stifle  should  be 
treated  promptly. 

Apply  Save-the-Horse  over  the  affected  area  twice  daily  for  a 
week  or  until  considerable  roughness  of  the  skin  can  be  felt ;  then 
apply  Save-the-Horse  Ointment  for  three  days,  rubbing  it  in 
thoroughly ;  repeat  the  alternate  treatment  until  a  cure  results. 

Thoroughly  remove  ointment  with  hot  water  and  soap  each 
time  just  before  again  applying  Save-the-Horse,  otherwise  the 
parts  become  greased  and  caked  over  and  Save-the-Horse  will  run 
off. 

For  this  disease  Save-the-Horse  must  be  applied  so  it  takes  a 
good  strong  hold.  Put  on  only  what  the  parts  will  absorb  each 
time ;  do  not  let  it  run  down  and  waste. 


TREATMENT    FOB    DISLOCATION    OF    PATELLA    OR 

STIFLE 

Stand  the  animal  against  the  side  of  the  stall.  Place  one  end 
of  a  soft  rope  around  the  fetlock  joint  (not  below)  of  the  affected 
limb.  Place  the  end  of  the  rope  in  the  hands  of  an  assistant 
standing  at  the  horse's  head.  Direct  him  to  gently  draw  the 
limb  forward  until  it  is  in  a  standing  position.  This  done  the 
operator  standing  behind  the  horse  by  extreme  pressure  back  of 
the  bone  can  force  the  bone  back  into  place.  It  will  go  in  with  a 
^ '  chuck. ' '  When  the  rope  is  removed  the  animal  may  walk  away 
as  if  nothing  had  happened,  but  in  so  doing  is  liable  to  again 
bring  on  the  lesion.  To  prevent  this  keep  the  horse  standing  for 
forty-eight  to  seventy-two  hours  on  a  perfectly  level  floor;  tie 
him  up  so  that  he  cannot  move  about  or  lie  down  during  this 
period.  The  horse  should  then  be  allowed  gentle  exercise  in  a 
level  pasture  or  given  light  work  until  the  stretched  and  strained 
ligaments  have  contracted  and  resumed  their  normal  state.. 

Tn  the  reduction  of  stifle  dislocation  of  a  colt  up  to  two  years 
old  great  care  must  be  exercised  as  danger  of  fracture  is  a  pos- 
sibility. .  The  colt 's  head  should  be  held  up  by  an  assistant ;  the 
operator  then,  standing  behind  the  colt  with  one  hand  on  the 
inside  of  the  joint,  with  one  foot  and  knee  gently  forces  the  af- 
fected limb  forward  and  with  the  free  hand  presses  the  bone 
into  place. 

As  quickly  as  the  joint  is  in  place  apply  Save-the-Horse  as 
directed  for  stifle  lameness,  to  help  restore  strength  to  the  liga- 
ments, muscles  and  tissues,  and  to  prevent,  if  possible,  what 
otherwise  might  become  habitual  weakness. 

TREATMENT    FOR    WIRE    CUTS 

Wounds  of  this  nature  should  be  treated  as  open  wounds,  i.  e-, 
do  not  suture  (sew)  or  bandage.  If  hemorrhages  (bleeding) 
necessitate  bandaging  remove  these  as  soon  as  the  blood  stops 
flowing.  Wash  thoroughly  with  hot  water  and  apply  Save-the- 
Horse  Ointment ;  to  every  2  ounces  of  the  ointment  add  i/4  ounce 
of  collodion,  mix  thoroughly  and  apply  under  the  bandage  while 
the  parts  are  bleeding.  As  quickly  as  the  hemorrhage  or  bleed- 
ing has  ceased  the  collodion  and  bandasring  can  be  omitted  an,d 
Save-the-Horse  Ointment  alone  used.  The  use  of  collodion  ahd 
Save-the-Horse  Ointment  is  a  desirable  combination  as  an  aid 
where  the  cut  is  over  a  joint  (see  open  joint). 

Tf  the  ointment  was  not  used  and  the  parts  have  healed,  or,  in 
cases  where  blistering  remedies,  firinsr,  or  natural  adhesions  have 
induced  a  thickened,  calloused  enlargement  or  lameness,  apply 
Save-the-Horse  treatment  as  directed  on  the  bottle, 

15 


TREATMENT  FOR  INTERFERING  OR  BRUSHING 

Treatment  of  this  condition  consists  of  applying;  Save-the- 
Hoi-se  as  directea  on  bottle.  Is  is  also  necessary  to  remo\e  the 
cause,  which  might  be  one  of  the  following:  fatigue,  poor  con 
dition  (animal  has  not  the  strength  to  spread  the  limbs  to  theii 
normal  position),  faulty  shoeing,  lameness,  etc.  The  anklet 
should  be  protected  by  boots  while  using  the  horse  until  the 
so-reness  and  swelling  have  been  cured. 

You  will  thank  us  for  this  advice:  If  your  hoi^e  interferes 
have  the  shoes  removed  and  horse  driven  four  or  five  days,  then 
put  on  a  shoe  to  conform  to  the  wear  on  hoof.  The  wearing 
points  will  become  clearly  distinguished  after  being  driven  bare- 
footed for  a  number  of  days,  plainly  showing  the  kind  of  shoe 
to  make  or  fit.  This  wall  usually  prevent  further  interfering. 
At  once  apply  Save-the-Horse  to  treat  the  lameness,  soreness,  or 
for  enlargement  or  thickening. 

TREATMENT  FOR  SPEEDY  CUTS 

These  wounds  should  have  prompt  attention  before  an  inflam- 
matory condition  of  the  bone  covering  sets  in,  resulting  in  bony 
enlargement.  Make  early  application  of  Save-the-Horse  as  di- 
rected on  bottle;  it  will  act  to  allay  inflammation  and  heal  the 
broken  surface. 

The  cause  must  be  removed  and  the  parts  protected  until  sore-' 
ness  and  inflammation  are  allayed,  the  same  as  Interfering  and 
Brushing. 

OVERREACH,     TREAD    AND    CALK    WOUNDS 

Ti-eatment  of  wounds  of  this  nature  consists  of  the  removal  of 
hair,  dirt  and  any  foreign  substance  that  may  have  been  carried 
in  at  the  time  of  accident.  Protect  and  help  heal  the  wound  with 
Save-the-Horse  Ointment.  In  serious  cases  as  an  aid  to  prevent 
complication  such  as  tetanus  or  blood  poisoning  or  a  side  bone, 
make  a  few  applications  with  Save-the-Horse  before  applying 
the  oinment. 

Do  not  attempt  to  bandage  these  wounds  either  at  work  or 
while  in  the  stable. 

If  the  calk  wound  is  old  and  complicated  use  Save-the-Horse 
as  directed  on  bottle  over  the  affected  area  and  at  junction  of 
hair  and  hoof  around  the  foot. 

TREATMENT  FOR  CONTRACTED  HOOF 

Treat  and  shoe  as  for  navicular  disease. 

TREATMENT    FOR    GRAVEL    AND     QUITTOR 

Remove  all  dead  and  diseased  tissue  and  treat  the  same  as  for 
nail  wounds  or  supurative  corns. 

16 


J'  \ 


TREATMENT    OF    POUNDER    OR    LAMINITIS 

Apply  Save-the-Hoi'se  from  I/2  i^ch  above  to  1/2  ii^ch  below  the 
hair  line  entirely  around  the  coronary  band  at  top  of  foot,  as 
directed  on  the  bottle. 

While  the  main  dependence  in  the  treatment  of  this  disease  lies 
in  the  action  of  Save-the-Horse,  which  acts  to  establish  renewed 
circulation  in  the  hoof  and  to  expand  and  grow  a  new  foot,  yet 
properly  caring  for  the  foot  in  the  following  manner  is  of  great 
importance. 

Prepare  a  wide  webbed  fore  shoe  of  sufficient  length  to  assure 
a  good  ground  surface;  drill  and  tap  out  shoe  for  Neverslip 
calks ;  set  the  shoe.  Prepare  a  piece  of  boiler  plate  to  completely 
cover  shoe ;  drill  holes  in  this  plate  where  the  neverslip  calks  are 
to  go  through  into  the  shoe.  Then  smear  the  bottom  of  the  f(^t 
with  Save-the-Horse  Ointment,  pack  with  oakum,  put  plate  in 
position  on  the  shoe  and  screw  in  the  neverslip  calks.  The  oakum 
should  fill  the  foot  completely  and  the  plate  press  it  in  place,  in 
this  way  support  is  given  the  sole. 

The  plate  should  be  removed  and  the  foot  repacked  every  three 
weeks  if  possit)le ;  the  Neverslip  calks  permit  of  doing  this  with- 
out removing  the  shoe  each  time,  but  the  shoe  should  be  taken 
off  and  the  foot  made  level  as  often  as  necessary. 

NAVICULAR    OR    COFFIN    JOINT    LiiMENESS 

To  allow  Save-the-Horse  to  do  its  quickest  and  best  work  the 
foot  must  be  softened.  The  foot  is  usualy  dry  and  hard  in  con- 
sequence of  the  fevered  condition  of  the  internal  structures ;  this 
must  and  can  be  overcome. 

Soak  the  foot  for  an  hour  each  day  in  a  tub  of  water,  or  wind 
a  sack  about  the  foot  and  keep  it  moist  for  an  hour  or  more  each 
day;  or  use  Felt  Soaking  boots;  another  very  satisfactory  way 
is  to  pad  the  foot  with  sole  leather  and  pack  with  a  sponge  di- 
vided— a  half  put  on  either  side  of  the  frog;  the  sponge  to  be 
moistened  twice  daily  by  pouring  water  in  at  the  heel ;  the  leather 
should  be  riveted  to  the  shoe  near  the  heel  to  avoid  sagging  and 
to  prvent  dirt  from  entering.  If  the  leather  pad  and  sponge  are 
used  avoid  any  great  amount  of  frog  pressure. 

Then  Save-the-Horse  should  be  applied  at  the  junction  of  hoof 
and  skin,  beginning  at  the  heels  and  extending  clear  around  the 
coronary  band,  from  I/2  ii^ch  below  the  hair  line.  Make  applica- 
tion as  directed  on  the  bottle. 

After  the  foot  has  become  softened  it  should  be  trimmed  lightly  at 
the  heel  and  as  much  taken  off  from  the  bottom  at  the  toe  as  it  will 
safely  stand  and  shoe  with  an  open  shoe  of  good  width.  Have  the 
surface  of  the  shoe  that  comes  next  to  the  foot,  from  the  last  nail  hole 
back  and  including  the  heels,  beveled  in  such  a  manner  that  the  inside 
Of  the  shoe  Is  higher  and  slopes  to  the  outside,  corresponding  with  the 

17 


Illustration.    This  bevel  should  be  made  with  a  bapamer  instead  of 

with  a  file  or  rasp.  The  shoe  should  be  14  inch  wider  at  both  branches 
of  the  heels  than  the  foot  so  that  the  foot  will  not  expand  beyond  the 
shoe  when  the  weight  is  taken  upon  it.  It  can  be  seen  at  once  that 
when  the  foot  takes  the  body  weight  it  will  spread  at  the  heels  in 
consequence  of  this  bevel.  Care  must  be  exercised  not  to  get  this 
bevel  too  great,  as  lameness  may  follow.  The  outside  edge  should 
not  be  over  1-16  to  1-8  inch  lower  than  the  inside  edge. 

NOTE  THE  SLANT  OR  BEVEL  OF  THE  TOP  ON  BOTH 
BRANCHES  OF  THIS  SHOE. 


As  the  hoof  is  hard  and  dry  the  bevel  shoe  may  cause  it  to 
spread  and  crack  unless  the  foot  is  first  made  moist  and  soft 
before  using  this  shoe. 

The  heel  calks  should  be  %  to  %  inch  higher  than  the  toe. 

This  shoe  should  be  fitted  without  toe  calks.  The  toe  of  the 
shoe  should  be  hammered  so  the  edge  is  made  rollino:  or  round 
to  correspond  with  the  illustration  here  shown.  If  toe  calk  i«< 
required  it  should  be  set  back  as  far  from  the  toe  as  possible  and 
it  should  extend  across  the  shoe,  reaching  from  one  outside  edge 
to  the  other. 

TREATMENT    FOR    THRUSH 

Trim  away  all  dead  tissue  so  that  the  remedy  can  penetrate 
to  the  seat  of  the  disease.  Apply  Save-the-Horse  once  a  day 
around  the  frog  and  into  the  cleft  of  the  heels,  using  a  blunt  stick 
to  pry  the  tissues  apart  so  as  to  allow  the  remedy  to  enter  the 
bottom  of  the  crevices. 

Also  make  treatment  with  Save-the-Horse  entirely  around  cor- 
onary band  at  the  top  of  hoof  as  directed  on  bottle.  This  is  to 
expand  and  produce  a  healthy  condition  of  the  hoof. 

Care  should  be  taken  to  keep  stall  dry  aiid  f^'ee  from  manure, 
as  moisture  and  filth  are  predisposing  to  the  disease. 

TREATMENT    FOR    NAIL    WOUND 

Nail  wounds  are  considered  of  but  little  importance  by  many 
and  yet  the  number  of  horses  lost  each  year  from  Tetanus  (Lock- 
jaw) is  enormous  and  is  in  most  cases  traced  directly  to  a  nail 
in  the  foot. 

The  nail  or  foreign  body  should  be  promptly  removed  and  the 
opening  enlarged  to  allow  the  collection  of  blood  and  pus  to 

18 


escape.  Hold  the  foot  in  the  hand  with  the  leg  flexed  so  that 
the  sole  is  held  in  a  horizontal  position;  pour  a  few  drops  of 
Save-the-Horse  into  the  wound  and  cover  with  absorbent  cotton 
to  protect  parts  from  dirt.  The  wound  should  be  treated  in  this 
way  for  ten  days  and  then  every  two  or  three  days  until  all 
soreness  and  inflammation  has  entirely  subsided  and  the  wound 
healed. 

Make  a  few  alternate  treatments  with  Save-the-Horse  and  Oint- 
ment as  directed  on  bottle,  around  the  coronary  band  at  top  of 
hoof  to  a  half  inch  above  the  hair  line.  This  will  assist  to  stimu- 
late a  fresh,  healthy  action  of  the  circulation  and  normal  condi- 
tions in  the  hoof • 

TREATMENT    FOR    CORNS 

In  either  dry  or  ^noist  corns  less  amount  of  the  sole  directly 
over  and  surrounding  the  affected  area  will  need  to  be  removed 
than  in  the  suppurative  corn,  but  of  course  the  sole  and  wall  in 
all  cases  must  be  cut  away  to  relieve  the  pressure  as  much  as  pos- 
sible \\dthout  drawing  blood. 

For  moist  or  dry  corn  do  not  cut  the  corn  out.  Merely  dish 
off  the  top  of  the  corn. 

Hold  the  foot  in  the  hand  with  the  leg  flexed  so  that  the  sole 
is  held  in  a  horizontal  position,  pour  a  few  drops  of  Save-the- 
Horse  on  to  the  corn  once  daily  for  8  days,  skip  three  days  and 
repeat.  Save-the-Horse  will  be  absorbed  along  the  fibres  of  the 
corn  and  in  a  very  short  time  cause  the  corn  to  entirely  crumble 
out  and  disappear. 

In  the  suppurative  com  (corns  discharging  pus  or  matter) 
the  sole  immediately  over  and  around  it  must  be  removed  and  a 
free  drainage  established. 

When  suppuration  extends  to  top  of  hoof  inject  about  one- 
quarter  teaspoonful  of  Save-the-Horse  into  the  fistula  tract  or 
opening  at  the  top  of  hoof  once  daily  for  4  days,  skip  3  days 
and  repeat  for  a  few  times. 

If  a  suppurative  corh ;  pack  the  opening  in  the  sole  lightly  with 
cotton  after  applying  Save-the-Horse,  cover  with  oakum  and 
hold  in  place  by  a  leather  pad  to  prevent  dirt  and  other  foreign 
substances  from  enteidng  the  wound. 

In  all  cases  make  a  few  treatments  with  Save-the-Horse  as 
directed  on  bottle  entirely  around  coronary  band  at  top  of 
HOOF  to  a  half  inch  above  the  hair  line.  This  acts  to  stimulate 
a  new  and  healthy  growth  of  horn  and  induce  normal  conditions 
in  the  hoof. 

A  bar  shoe  with  frog  pressure,  sufficient  to  remove  all  bearing 
from  the  quarter  affected  is  absolutely  necessary-^  during  the 
treatment  for  corns  of  any  kind,  if  a  permanent  cure  is  to  be  ae- 
complished. 


TREATMENT    FOR    OPEN    JOINT 

In  a  fully  developed  case  of  open  joint  it  is  a  Avise  course  to  put 
the  animal  in  slings.  Keep  him  there  as  long  as  he  can  be  made 
to  submit  quietly  to  their  restraint.  The  horse  should  be  kept 
perfectly  quiet  until  the  danger  is  past.  Whether  the  slings  are 
adopted  or  not  treatment  should  be  as  follows. 

To  every  two  ounces  of  Save-the-Horse  Ointment  mix  thor- 
oughly one  ounce  of  collodion.  Apply  this  thoroughly  into  the 
opening  twice  daily.  As  soon  as  the  danger  is  past  or  the  wound 
is  healed  up,  then  Save-the-Horse  should  be  applied  as  directed 
on  the  bottle  as  an  aid  in  treating  to  prevent  or  overcome  lame- 
ness and  remove  swellings. 

Save-the-Horse  is  often  applied  into  openings  over  a  joint 
where  the  joint  oil  is  discharging,  and  with^excellent  results,  but 
to  be  absolutely  on  the  safe  side  use  the  ointment  and  collodion 
to  first  heal  the  parts. 

TREATMENT  FOR  RHEUMATISM 

Open  the  bowels;  this  may  be  accomplished  by  a  bran  mash 
once  a  day;  or  by  any  of  the  succulent  roots,  such  as  carrots, 
turnips,  sugar  beets,  etc-,  or  by  grass  if  accessible. 

An  airy,  roomy,  well  ventilated  stable  with  a  sunny  exposure 
are  all  predisposing  features  to  an  early  recovery.  Salicylate  of 
soda  may  be  given  in  drinking  water,  2  drams  three  times  a  day. 

Apply  Save-the-Horse  as  directed  on  bottle.  Should  the  joint

TREATMENT    FOR    LYMPHANGITIS 

In  tMs  dijsease  make  tlie  treatment  with  Save-the-Horse  when 
|he  horse  comes  in  from  work  or  exercise.  If  the  swelling  sub- 
sides when  the  horse  is  driven,  treatment  can  then  be  confined 
to  the  parts  directly  over  the  seat  of  the  weakness  or  lesion;. this 
is  usually  at  the  hock  or  ankle. 

In  the  early  or  acute  stage  bathe  the  affected  parts  or  the  en- 
tire swollen  area  with  hot  water  for  15  or  20  minutes  once  each 
day.  Make  sure  the  parts  are  thoroughly  dry  and  apply  Save- 
the-Horse  thoroughly  with  the  brush.  In  ten  minutes  more 
cover  with  a  thick  layer  of  sheet  cotton  and  over  this  run  a  dry 
bandage  (use  roller  bandage).  A  plentiful  supply  of  sheet  cot- 
ton should  be  used  then  the  bandage  can  be  run  fairly  snug. 
Leave  the  bandage  on  over  night  or  until  the  horse  is  exercised 
the  next  day.  In  bandaging  cover  from  below  the  ankle  to  the 
hock  or  above  where  sweHing  extends.  For  the  proper  method 
of  bandaging  refer  to  the  article  in  this  book  on  ' '  Bandaging  the 
Race  Horse.'* 

Use  the  hot  water  regardless  of  any  swelling  at  the  start  but 
if  the  swelling  persists  after  a  few  days '  treatment,  then  chango 
to  cold  water- 
As  quickly  as  the  inflammation  or  fever  is  removed  and  the 
swelling  subsides  the  bandaging  may  be  omitted.  This  usually 
takes  place  in  about  two  weeks  and  then  treatment  should  be 
made  in  accordance  with  the  directions  on  the  bottle.  Should 
the  fever  and  inflammation  not  yet  be  gone  and  the  leg  begin  to 
swell  again,  resort  to  the  bandage  as  before  for  another  week  or 
two. 

Apply  this  treatment  daily. 

In  the  acute  or  first  stage  rest  horse  about  forty-eight  hours. 
Then  gently  exercise  for  about  twenty  minutes  three  times  a 
day,  gradually  increasing  the  exercise.  If  caused  by  too  much 
food  and  not  enough  exercise,  as  quickly  as  the  trouble  is  noticed 
give  one  dose  only  of  aloes,  one  ounce,  dissolve  in  half  a  pint  of 
boiling  water,  add  half  a  pint  of  cold  water.  Also  give  half  an 
ounce  of  nitrate  of  potassium  in  the  drinking  water  three  times 
a  day. 

When  caused  by  over-working  and  poor  food,  or  from  debili- 
tating diseases,  such  as  influenza  and  distemper,  treatment  should 
be  of  a  stimulating  and  tonic  nature;  then  Save-the-Horse  Re- 
storative and  Condition  Powders  in  conjunction  with  the  appli- 
cation of  Save-the-Horse  as  above  outlined  will  greatly  hasten 
the  recovery. 

The  horse  should  be  fed  sparingly  of  pure,  clean  food ;  if  in 
winter  a  little  hay  or  roots ;  if  in  summer,  give  grass,  but  little 
or  no  corn;  for  grain  use  bran,  oats  and  linseed  meal. 


TREATMENTS  FOR  THE  RACE  HORSE 

The  following  is  prepared  expressly  for  siicli  emergencies  and 
complications  as  are  met  with  by  the  owner  and  trainer  m  the 
preparation  and  campaigning  of  the  Trotting,  Pacing  and  Run- 
ning Horses. 

Save-the-Horse  may  always  be  SAFELY  used  on  a  seriously 
injured  tendon  while  the  horse  is  kept  in  training  or  raced. 

Horse  can  be  worked  with  either  shin  or  ankle  boots,  as  no 
harm  can  possibly  come  by  either  destruction  of  hair  or  scalding 
of  the  limb. 

TREATMENT    FOR    FILLED    TENDONS 

Apply  Save-the-Horse  as  directed  on  bottle. 

Or  for  the  more  serious  conditions  and  when 
there  is  a  great  deal  of  fever  and  inflammation,  be 
guided  by  the  following  method: 

When  bringing  the  horse  in  from  work  or  exer- 
cise each  day,  bathe  the  affected  parts  with  cold 
water  from  15  to  20  minutes.  Then  massage  or 
rub  the  parts  for  5  minutes,  using  both  hands. 

Make  sure  the  parts  are  thoroughly  dry  and  ap- 
ply Save-the-Horse,  thoroughly  manipulating  the 
brush  to  work  the  remedy  in  well  over  all  the  af- 
fected parts,  extending  down  both  sides  and  at  the 
back  of  the  lower  part  or  underside  of  ankle. 
Cover  with  thick  layer  of  sheet  cotton  and  over 
this  run  a  dry  bandage  (use  roller  bandage).  By 
using  a  plentiful  supply  of  sheet  cotton  the  bandage 
can  be  run  fairly  snug  without  danger  of  cording  the  leg. 
Leave  on  over  night  or  until  the  horse  is  to  be  exercised- 


Filled  Tendon 


Bowed 
1 endon 


Sprained 
Ligament 


Repeat  this  treatment  daily. 

The  bandage  treatment  is  not  necessary  to  accomplish  the  de- 
sired results,  but  is  a  saving  of  time  and  the  preparation. 

Many  valuable  horses  have  been  prepared,  trained  and  raced 
by  following  this  method,  when  all  other  means  failed. 

Massaging  or  hand  rubbing  may  be  done  right  along  unless 
as  sometimes  happens,  it  causes  swelling  and  fever,  then  it  should 
be  immediately  discontinued. 

TREATMENT    FOR    BOWED    TENDON 

Follow  the  treatment  given  for  sprain  of 
suspensory  ligaments.  For  a  mild  condi- 
tion apply  Save-the-Horse  as  directed  for 
filled  tendon. 

TREATMENT    FOR    SPRAIN    OF 
SUSPENSORY    LIGAMENT 

A  slight  strain  or  soreness  of  the  Sus- 
pensory  Ligament,  treat  as  for  Filled 
Tendon. 

But  in  more  serious  or  complicated  lac- 
erations or  spraining  of  the  Suspensory 
Ligament  the  following  method  should  be 
followed;  especially  when  the  horse  is  un- 
dergoing preparation  or  racing. 

In  the  morning  apply  Save-the-Horse  by  means  of  the  brush 
over  all  of  the  affected  area,  following  the  tendons  down  botb 
sides,  and  directly  on  and  under  the  back  of  ankle,  as  well  as 
over  the  swellings  above. 

After  applying  Save-the-Horse  do  not  bandage— allow  the  air 
to  get  to  it  for  thirty  minutes  or  an  hour  before  exercising  or 

^"immediately  upon  bringing  the  horse  in  from  exercising  o^ 
work  use  any  good  body  and  leg  wash  (diluted  as  directed  for 
the  leg),  and  massage  the  affected  parts  from  three  to  five  min- 
utes; cover  with  sheet  cotton  and  run  on  a  bandage. 

Remove  the  bandage  at  night,  again  massage  with  body  and 
leg  wash,  cover  with  sheet  cotton  and  bandage  for  the  night. 

Repeat  this  daily,  not  forgetting  to  let  the  air  get  to  the  parts 
for  one-half  hour  or  one  hour,  after  applying  Save-the-IIorse 
and  before  exercising  or  jogging  each  morning.  ,  ,.  i,4i  , 

Should  massaging  cause  excessive  sweUmg  omit  and  lightly 
bathe  with  the  leg  wash.  ,    ,  •  n     „. 

Bandages  can  be  used  when  the  horse  is  jogged,  especially  as 
quickly  as  fast  work  is  commeneev. 

Read  the  article  m  this  book  on  Bandaging.

TREATMENT  TOE  CONTRACTED  TENDON 

Apply  Save-the-Horse  Treatment  over  the  tendons  at  back  of  leg  from 
the  knee  or  hock  downward  and  over  sides  of  the  ankle  joint  and  pastern  to 
the  foot  as  directed  on  bottle. 

The  horse  may  be  worked  as  usual. 

When  tendons  are  contracted  support  is  necessaty,  which  may 
be  accomplished  by  removing  the  toe  calk  and  raising  heel  calks  to 
i  or  I  inch  high  and  allowing  horse  to  wear  these  away  gradually. 
Have  the  shoe  reset  at  intervals  of  three  weeks  if  possible. 

RUPTURED  TENDON 

Any  degree  of  injury  from  a  slight  laceration  tip  to  an  absolute 
tear  right  across,  usually  goes  by  the  common  name  of  "Ruptured" 
tendon.  "Ruptured  Tendon"  is  commonly  termed  "Breaking-Down," 
among  horsemen.  It  usually  takes  place  at  the  back  of  the  leg  at  or 
below  the  fetlock.  When  such  a  rupture  or  "breaking-down"  takes 
place  the  lameness  comes  on  suddenly  and  is  most  intense;  the  fetlock 
descends,  the  toe  turns  up ;  attempting  to  walk  the  leg  has  the  appear- 
ance of  being  broken  off  at  the  fetlock. 

Unless  the  fetlock  does  descend  in  the  manner  explained  it  is  not 
a  complete  rupture  of  either  the  ligament  or  tendon. 

TREATMENT  FOR  RUPTURED  TENDON 

A  complete  rupture  of  the  tendon  is  of  rare 
occurrence.  It  is  the  race  horse  that  is  usually 
affected. 

When  an  injury  of  the  tendon  is  so  severe  as 
to  completely  rupture  or  cause  a  sinking  or  drop- 
ing  of  the  ankle,  treatment  should  consist  of  shoe 
and  brace  like  illustration  here  shown.  The  brace 
to  be  shaped  so  as  to  put  the  foot  in  normal  posi- 
tion and  hold  it  in  position  until  the  tendon  is 
united.  It  is  usually  necessary  to  keep  the  animal 
in  a  standing  position  by  slings  or  otherwise  for 
at  least  three  weeks;  at  the  end  of  this  time  the 
brace  may  be  removed,  but  the  patient  should 
not  be  allowed  to  exercise  for  some  time  after  re- 
moving the  brace.  That  portion  of  the  brace 
which  fits  around  the  leg  must  be  very  heavily 
padded  with  cotton  and  closely  watched  as  too 
great  pressure  at  one  point  will  retard  circulation 
and  cause  a  sore  that  will  necessitate  the  removal  of  the  brace. 

If  the  skin  is  unbroken  and  the  swelling  great,  the  swelling  and 
inflammation  should  be  reduced  by  bathing  for  5  minutes  with  cold 
waur  followed  by  Save-the-Horse  Treatment  once  a  dav.  If  the  skin 
is  broken,  hot  water  may  be  used  and  Save  the-Horse  Antisepric  Towder 
used  once  daily. 


After  the  two  ends  of  the  tendon  have  became  united  and 
healed  and  the  brace  removed  use  Save-the-Horse  as  directed 
on  bottle,  as  an  aid  to  prevent  or  overcome  any  resulting  lame- 
ness or  enlargement. 

TREATMENT    FOR    THICKENED     TENDON 

A  ' '  thickened ' '  tendon  may  come  in  consequence  of  a  ' '  filled ' ' 
tendon  or  be  the  sequel  of  any  sprain  or  injury  of  the  tendon. 
Through  the  process  of  organization  the  infiltrated  tissue  form- 
ing the  swelling  becomes  hardened  and  calloused. 

Follow  treatment  as  given  for  Filled  Tendon- 

TREATMENT  FOR  INFLAMMATION  OF  THE  TENDON 
WITH  DISCHARGE 

Do  not  confound  this  condition  with  Ruptured  Tendon. 

Inflammation  of  the  Tendon  with  Discharge  is  a  condition  re- 
sulting from  the  parts  coming  in  contact  with  more  or  less  sharp 
obstacle,  penetrating  into  the  tendon  sheath  but  not  severing  the 
tendon  and  are  always  infected  from  the  beginning. 

Save-the-Horse  should  be  applied  at  once  (with  syringe  if  pos- 
sible) so  as  to  penetrate  to  all  parts  of  the  wound  to  prevent 
infection. 

The  main  treatment  must  be  directed  to  healing  the  wound. 
Apply  Save-the-Horse  Ointment — to  each  two  ounces  of  this  oint- 
ment thoroughly  mix  one  ounce  of  collodion — and  thoroughly  ap- 
ply in  the  wound  twice  daily.  As  quickly  as  the  discharge  or 
bleeding  ceases  omit  the  collodion  and  apply  the  ointment  alone, 
twice  daily. 

Bandaging  should  not  be  practiced  unless  considerable  bleed- 
ing is  experienced  and  then  only  until  hemorrhage  is  "controlled. 
Apply  Save-the-Horse  Ointment  and  collodion  twice  daily  under 
the  bandage.  Rest  is  very  essential  in  the  treatment  of  such  a 
condition.  'Keep  the  horse  in  a  dry,  airy,  well  bedded  box  or  tie 
stall.  As  soon  as  the  healing  is  accomplished  with  Save-the- 
Horse  Ointment,  if  there  is  then  any  sign  of  swelling,  thicken- 
ing or  soreness,  apply  Save-the-Horse  as  directed  for  Filled 
Tendons. 


The  fiield  of  usefulness  of  Save-the-Hoi^e  is  unlimited  and  if 
for  any  reason  one  is  not  certain  about  a  case;  if  the  lameness  is 
obscure  and  baffles  your  skill,  we  will  give  individual  advice  as 
to  the  best  methods  to  help  locate  the  lameness  and  bring  about 
til©  d©sir»d  results.     There  is  no  char^  for  sueh  advic«.

BANDAGING  THB  EACB  HORSB 


Pig  I 


Flg.» 


We  are  often  asked — can  bandaging  be 
done  in  connection  with  the  use'of  Save-the- 
Horse?  Our  answer  is:  yes,  most  as- 
suredly if  bandaging  is  desired  or  if  it  is 
required  and  can  be  properly  applied. 

We  wish  to  emphasize — bandaging  is 
not  a  necessary  adjunct,  as  a  matter  of  fact, 
it  is  not  needed  excepting  only  for  certain 
serious  injuries  or  diseases  of  the  tendons. 

In  the  dextrous  hands  of  the  trainer 
it  has  long  been  discovered  that  by  combin- 
ing these  two  masterful  forces,  i.e. :  bandag- 
ing and  Save-the-Horse  for  serious  and 
complicated  injuries  and  diseases  of  tendon, 
horses  may  4)e  prepared,  trained  and  un- 
dergo the  most  strenuous  campaigning 


Here  are  a  few  points  or  suggestions  in  connection  with  the  use 
of  bandaging,  the  ignorance  or  over  sight  of  which  are  the  reasons  for 
harmful  or  poor  results. 

The  most  important  requirement  in  bandaging  is  to  use  a  thick 
layer  of  sheet  cotton.  Extra  cotton  should  be  put  on  at  both  ex- 
tremities and  let  the  cotton  extend  beyond  the  bandage  at  both  ex- 
tremities. If  a  tendon  is  bowed  or  ruptured  under  cotton  it  is  al- 
ways at  one  or  the  other  extremity,  it  never  happens  directly  under 
the  cotton;  therefore  by  using  a  plentiful  supply  of  cotton  especially 
at  both  ends  the  bandage  can  be  drawn  snug  without  danger  of  cord- 
ing the  leg.  Unless  extra  cotton  is  used  at  the  extremities  the  band- 
age should  not  be  drawn  as  tight  at  the  ends  as  in  the  center. 

It  is  especially  important  to  always  use  a  plentiful  supply  of  sheet 
cotton  in  the  above  manner  when  the  horse  is  worked  in  bandages. 

Bandage  as  close  to  the  knee  and  fetlock  as  it  is  possible  without 
interfering  with  the  action  of  the  joint. 

The  illustrations,  Fig.  I  and  2  at  the  head  of  this  article  clearly 
show  the  proper  method  of  starting  and  winding  a  bandage.  After 
tying  the  bandage  slip  a  rubber  band  over  the  horse's  foot  and  up  the 
leg  letting  it  remain  around  the  top  where  the  bandage  is  tied,  as 
in  figure  I  and  the  bandage  will  remain  in  place  even  thotigh  the 
horse  is  raced. 

A  bandage  without  the  cotton  must  be  kept  constantly  wet,  other- 
wise, if  it  dries  it  will  shrink  and  become  so  tight  as  to  often  cause 
serious  trouble.  If  one  wishes  to  omit  the  cotton,  precaution  should 
always  be  taken  to  keep  the  bandage  wet 

The  method  of  using  Save-the-Horse  in  connection  with  bandag- 
ing is  described  under  Filled  Tendon,  and  also  Strain  of  Suspensory 
Ligament"  in  this  book.

HEAVE   TREATMENT 

Another  Success — ^Another  Stride,  for  the  Troy 
Chemical  Company 


When  the  claims  were  first 
made  about  Save-the-Horse 
Spavin  Treatment  the  skep- 
tics said  **fool  talk/*  but  now 
this  preparation  for  lameness 
and  enlargements  is  known 
and  respected  in  every  coun- 
try where  horses  are  raised. 
It  is  proving  to  be  the  same 
with  the  Heave  Medicine, 
which  is  an  entirely  new  com- 
bination treatment. 

Do  not  be  misled  into  be- 
lieving that  all  cases  of  heaves 
are  incurable.  Many  a  man 
can  testify  to  having  sacri- 
ficed his  horse  only  to  find 
later  that  the  shrewd  pur- 
chaser won  a  good  horse  by 
curing  this  supposedly  incur- 
able disease. 

Do  not  miss  this  opportunity  of  learning  all  about  this  treat- 
ment if  your  horse  has  heaves.  Take  ilie  time  to  write  us  at 
once  ! 

This  is  a  safe  and  thoroughly  tested  out  treatment  and  its  sale 
is  growing  constantly  in  every  quarter  where  it  is  tried.

Gentlemen: — 

As  for  the  horse  that  I  treated 
for  the  heaves,— I  will  say  she  does 
not  heave  a  particle  now.  Now  I 
have  spent  a  lot  of  money  on  this 
mare  but  never  got  any  relief  be- 
fore,— everything  seemed  to  make 
iier  worse. 

IMy  house  Is  about  15  rods  from 
the  barn  and  she  has  kept  me 
awake  many  the  night  coughing. 
I  have  got  up  out  of  my  bed  lots 
of  times  when  she  had  spells  of 
coughing,  and  my  brother  begged 
of  me  to  shoot  h^T  and  put  her  out 
of  misery  but  I  thought  so  much  of 
her  1  could  not  do  that. 

Now  there  are  lots  of  people  ask- 
ing me  what  I  am  using  on  this 
mare.  They  want  to  get  your  ad- 
dress but  there  is  one  more  horse  I 
want  to  got  pnd  then  I  will  adver- 
tise your  medicine. 

Very  truly  yours, 

MELVIN  UBDGROVB.
